Alone in the Dark

The days are growing shorter and colder (and we haven’t even fallen back yet) and my body and brain threaten to slip into hibernation mode. Currently I’m curled up on a couch with a blanket, and one of the cats keeping my feet warm. But I’ve been forcing myself to keep on top of the day to day tedium. This week I managed to get the recycling and trash out on time, keep the kitchen tidy after making various vegan comfort foods, get loads of laundry washed, and to get the boy to complete his new and more difficult homework assignments. The only thing he likes less? Visiting the doctor. But tomorrow I need to take him in for his annual physical. There will be shots involved. Ooh boy, will that ever be good times.
